2015 Map of Natchez Spring

About this map

Natchez Spring and a series of vital water sources define the arid geography of this Pershing County landscape during the early 21st century. The terrain is dominated by the high elevations of the Trinity Range and the Poker Brown Mountains, where deep drainages like Black Rock Canyon and Willow Canyon carve through the high desert. The survival of named water points such as Granite Spring, Sportsman Spring, and Marker Spring provides a clear view of the sparse but critical resources that have historically supported ranching and exploration in this portion of the Great Basin. This USGS survey details the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t30n r31e and t29n r30e, illustrating how the land was partitioned across the Trinity Canyon area.
